Nehemiah 2:17-20

Then said
<0559> (8799)
I unto them, Ye see
<07200> (8802)
the distress
<07451>
that we [are] in, how Jerusalem
<03389>
[lieth] waste
<02720>_,
and the gates
<08179>
thereof are burned
<03341> (8738)
with fire
<0784>_:
come
<03212> (8798)_,
and let us build up
<01129> (8799)
the wall
<02346>
of Jerusalem
<03389>_,
that we be no more a reproach
<02781>_.
Then I told
<05046> (8686)
them of the hand
<03027>
of my God
<0430>
which was good
<02896>
upon me; as also the king's
<04428>
words
<01697>
that he had spoken
<0559> (8804)
unto me. And they said
<0559> (8799)_,
Let us rise up
<06965> (8799)
and build
<01129> (8804)_.
So they strengthened
<02388> (8762)
their hands
<03027>
for [this] good
<02896>
[work].
But when Sanballat
<05571>
the Horonite
<02772>_,
and Tobiah
<02900>
the servant
<05650>_,
the Ammonite
<05984>_,
and Geshem
<01654>
the Arabian
<06163>_,
heard
<08085> (8799)
[it], they laughed us to scorn
<03932> (8686)_,
and despised
<0959> (8799)
us, and said
<0559> (8799)_,
What [is] this thing
<01697>
that ye do
<06213> (8802)_?
will ye rebel
<04775> (8802)
against the king
<04428>_?
Then answered
<07725> (8686) <01697>
I them, and said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, The God
<0430>
of heaven
<08064>_,
he will prosper
<06743> (8686)
us; therefore we his servants
<05650>
will arise
<06965> (8799)
and build
<01129> (8804)_:
but ye have no portion
<02506>_,
nor right
<06666>_,
nor memorial
<02146>_,
in Jerusalem
<03389>_.
